The Cops

[Chorus]
He says “I’ll take the fall
To get away from it all”
No matter how long it’s been since
He says he knows a guy
Who’s been arrested three times
In a different faraway province

[Post-Chorus]
And they will run and run and run
Away from the cops

[Verse 1]
He says “I know what I’m doing”
With a strange half-grin
As he jumps over the fence
This guy’s trouble I know
And on his face, it will show
But I’m out of all options

[Verse 2]
And he climbs and he climbs and he says
“Hey man how high can you jump?”
He gets high with his friends and his heart is stopping to pump

[Chorus]
So he says “I’ll take the fall
To get away from it all”
No matter how long it’s been since
He says he knows a guy
Who’s been arrested three times
In a different faraway province

[Post-Chorus]
And they will run and run and run
Away from the cops
He says I can’t go on
Can you help yourself, I give up

[Verse 3]
If there’s a shortage, he stops working
Cause his brain only runs on circuits
He keeps on shouting his own opinion
He doesn’t know that nobody’s listening

[Instrumental Bridge]

[Chorus]
He says “I’ll take the fall
To get away from it all”
No matter how long it’s been since
He says he knows a guy
Who’s been arrested three times
In a different faraway province

[Post-Chorus]
And they will run and run and run and run and run
Away from the cops
